Steven Wilson ponders his life as Britain’s least starry musical megastar“The most successful British musician most people have never heard of,” declare the posters for Steven Wilson’s new album. Erase, reached No 13 in the charts, and his new album reached No 1 in this week’s midweek charts. “Every time the mainstream media talk about progressive rock, they wheel out a clip of Rick Wakeman in a cape,” he says. One Spanish fan-journalist even booked an interview and flew to the UK to tell Wilson that his new music was “shit”. Steven Wilson will tour in 2018.
